Day 14: My Favorite Movie

It appears I'm back to the ideas found off of Pinterest.  I did share yesterday this would a hard app to give up, obviously not there yet.  Baby steps.  Ha!  I stumbled across a new list in my pinning spree yesterday and I just couldn't wait to write about this one.  I know, seems silly, it is just a movie after all.  Yet, it is more than that, it is several in fact.  I am one of those people who have a favorite movie by genre and I am most certain from the list I am about to share I am going to "age" myself.  HA!

Romance - You've Got Mail (There is just something altogether magnetic with the way Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan come together.)
Suspense - Silence of the Lambs (I can't quite describe what it is about this movie that I find so intriguing. Regardless, Anthony Hopkins is a genius.)
Comedy - The Whole Nine Yards (I laugh until I cry every.single.time.)
Drama - Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves (Kevin Costner, he may be old now, but he wasn't then...dreamy...)
Sci-fi - Stars Wars Trilogy (The originals, only the originals. True story lines...LOVE IT!)
Action - Die Hard Trilogy (I'm not sure if you've noticed or not, but Bruce Willis ages well...and I still love his movies!)
Animated - Cinderella (I'm a girl, what can I say.  We all want fancy shoes and a guy to pick us first.)
Western - Maverick (So, maybe this isn't a "true" western, but seriously...it is funny and they sing and there's the "wild west".  It works for me!)
Super Hero - Iron Man (I love a lot of superhero movies.  This one won by a narrow margin mostly because of the story line.

It isn't that Hollywood hasn't pumped out some good movies since.  Sure they've had many over the years that I have thoroughly enjoyed, but this is about favorites, and well, these take the cake.

Anyhow, this post was meant to be short and sweet.  Apparently, there is a big game on the TV tonight and since we don't have TV we're going to enjoy the commercials at someone else's house.  Go, Team!

The First Step

Lao-tzu has told us that "A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step." I took that step today.  Quite literally.  I ran my first 5k.  I had told myself I was going to do this and do it to the best of my ability.  I ran this race with a friend.  I was open and honest with her from the get go.  I told her that if she was faster, to go on ahead.  To which she replicated the statement.  I agreed.  I set off on my journey.  I wanted to see what I could do.  This was of utmost importance to me.  I needed to know what I was capable of.  After all, running is one of my pleasures in life.  I did this for me.  I did this with no one cheering me on.  Well, at least race side.  I had many cheering me on from where they were.  I'm going to stop this train of thought and go there for a second. I have to say this, I am the most blessed woman in the world.  Yes, I may have lost a husband and failed in marriage, but I have found the beauty of true friendship and gained th

My Kitchen Curtains

Have you ever set out to redecorate a room in your home?  I find this one of the most infuriating things to do as a homeowner.  I swear I have used every color of paint known to man on these walls and still struggle to find that one color that just makes me swoon every time I enter the room. Because of this my walls are a lovely, albeit safe, shade of off white; though I am sure it has some fabulous name like - Barely There, Crushed Seashell, or Not Quite White.  But it comes across as truly B-O-R-I-N-G !  I mean, I have an intense personality and I am NOT afraid of color...heaven's you should see what I wear.  So, how do I take that and transform a room, and not spend a week's or a month's salary doing it?  Here's the dilemma.  I don't know what I like!  I know, right?!  How on Earth do I start when I don't know where to start?  Ok, perhaps I do.  I like red.  I like contemporary/modern, bit not overly geometric.  I like floral, but not itty-bitty prints.
